Folk art is a rich and diverse genre of visual art that encompasses a wide range of cultural and historical traditions. Often produced by self-taught or amateur artists, folk art is characterized by its distinctive style, use of traditional materials, and connection to local and regional cultures. In this post, we will explore some of the key features of folk art, and experiment with using folk art as a prompt to generate new and unexpected images on Midjourney.
Now let’s get down to the good stuff! To start things off, I’ve whipped up a few quick and easy examples using good ol’ “folk art” as our trusty prompt. I didn’t want to get too fancy, so I just let Midjourney do its thing with some straightforward prompts. Let’s see what it came up with!
Since folk art and culture go together like peas and carrots, it’d be super cool to play around with different prompts on Midjourney and see what kind of wild and wacky images we can come up with. So try using prompts like time, country, culture, and medium and see where the journey takes us!
Although the image below doesn’t exactly scream “folk art,” I figured I’d cut it some slack since Midjourney finally managed to get some of the text right!
